NJPW Strong Openweight Champion and ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston recently spoke with Gabby AF on a number of topics, including young talents asking him for advice in AEW.
Kingston said, “No. I tell them to get away from me. They won’t listen, so I don’t even try. No, that was a joke. In a way. In a way, that was a joke. There is only certain people that I help. I’m very picky and choosy with my time and energy. People have known me to watch a match and then they’ll come and be like, ‘How was it?’ ‘Oh, I didn’t watch.’ They’ll be like, ‘Eddie, we know you watched.’ ‘Nah.’ I know the people and I know they’re just asking me for appearances. ‘Oh look, someone asked for advice.’ Then they’re not going to take it and still do whatever the fuck they want. Okay, cool. I know who is who, and I’m picky with who I help. Am I going to tell you who I help? No.”
